Abstract

The transparent or translucent hollow ball (1) contains a structure for displacing the center of gravity, and is driven forward. The structure inside the ball changes its position and that of the center of gravity by traveling on the inner surface of the follow ball. The ball travels by means of wheels (2,3), rollers, chains or such like the number and arrangement of which are random. The relative movement of the inner to the outer structure is controlled by remote control or by a preset program.

Description

Die Abbildung zeigt die Erfindung in einer vorteilhaften Ausführung.The figure shows the invention in an advantageous embodiment.

Im Innern der Hohlkugel 1 fahren zwei Räder 2 und 3, wobei diese durch gleichsinnige Drehung auf der Kugelinnenfläche eine bestimmte Bewegungsrichtung haben, oder aber durch unterschiedliche Drehung gekrümmte Bahnen oder auch Wendungen auf der Stelle ausführen können. Damit diese Räder in jeder Lage genügend Haftreibung entwickeln können, gibt es ein Stützrad 4, welches die beiden Räder an die Kugelschaleninnenseite federnd andrückt. Die beiden Radachsen gehen als getrennte Antriebswelle von einer zwischen den Rädern liegenden Motor-Getriebekombination 5 aus. Die Motor-Getriebekombination wird von einer Steuereinheit 6 gesteuert, welche über ein internes Ablaufprogramm oder vorzugsweise über Funkfernsteuerung die Aktionen des Antriebes in Geschwindigkeit und Richtung bestimmt. Dabei ist durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung aller Baugruppen eine relativ tiefe Lage des Schwerpunktes der Rad-Antriebskombination erreichbar, wodurch die Zielsicherheit des Gesamtsystems auf unebener Unterlage bzw. seine Bergsteigefähigkeit gewährleistet wird.Inside the hollow ball 1 , two wheels 2 and 3 drive, whereby these have a certain direction of movement by rotating in the same direction on the inner surface of the ball, or can perform curved tracks or turns on the spot by different rotation. So that these wheels can develop sufficient static friction in any position, there is a support wheel 4 , which presses the two wheels against the inside of the ball socket. The two wheel axles start as a separate drive shaft from a motor-transmission combination 5 lying between the wheels. The motor-gear combination is controlled by a control unit 6 , which determines the actions of the drive in speed and direction via an internal sequence program or preferably via radio remote control. The arrangement of all assemblies according to the invention makes it possible to achieve a relatively low position of the center of gravity of the wheel / drive combination, thereby ensuring the target accuracy of the overall system on an uneven surface or its mountaineering ability.

Claims (4)

1. Spielzeug in Kugelform, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Kugel hohl ist und sich durch Schwerpunktverlagerung einer innerhalb der Kugel angeordneten Struktur, mittels aktivem Antrieb, gezielt fortbewegt.1. Toy in the shape of a ball, characterized in that the ball is hollow and moves by moving the center of gravity of a structure arranged within the ball, by means of an active drive. 2. Spielzeug nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Struktur im Innern der Kugel ihre Position und damit Schwerpunktlage durch Fahren auf der Innenfläche der Hohlkugel relativ zu dieser verändert und daß dieses Fahren mit Rädern, Walzen, Ketten oder Ähnlichem erfolgt, wobei die Anzahl und Anordnung dieser Räder, oder radähnlichen Baugruppen beliebig ist und einige treibend, andere nur stützend oder lenkend arbeiten, oder aber Antriebs-, Stütz- und Lenkfunktionen, oder nur zwei derselben Funktionen, gleichzeitig ausführen können.2. Toy according to claim 1, characterized in that the structure inside the Ball their position and thus center of gravity by driving on the inner surface of the Hollow ball changed relative to this and that this driving with wheels, rollers, chains or the like, the number and arrangement of these wheels, or wheel-like assemblies is arbitrary and some driving, others only supporting or work in a steering manner, or drive, support and steering functions, or just two same functions, can perform simultaneously. 3. Spielzeug nach Anspruch 2 oder auch nur 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Relativbewegung der inneren zur äußeren Struktur durch ein intern vorgegebenes Programm, oder aber durch Fernsteuerung in Richtung und Geschwindigkeit gesteuert wird, wodurch die von außen sichtbare Bewegung des Gesamtsystems beeinflußbar ist.3. Toy according to claim 2 or only 1, characterized in that the Relative movement of the inner to the outer structure by an internally predetermined Program, or controlled by remote control in direction and speed becomes, whereby the externally visible movement of the overall system can be influenced. 4. Spielzeug nach Anspruch 1, 2 oder 3, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Kugelschale durchsichtig, durchscheinend oder in einer Weise durchbrochen ist, die die beschriebene Relativbewegung der inneren Struktur gerade noch zuläßt.4. Toy according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that the spherical shell is translucent, translucent, or pierced in a manner consistent with that described Relative movement of the inner structure just allowed.
